BFF = Best Friends Forever. Everybody knows that, right? Now it’s a special wine vintage and a wine cellar, and I was fortunate to be asked to design the first label! My friends Marcia Gilson and Robin Baker have partnered to begin BFF Cellars, and to make a series of wines, each with a label designed by a local artist. Here’s the art for the first label, I’ll post a photo of the actual bottle and label as soon as I can get my hands on it!

Here’s what Robin had to say this morning as she made it all official on FB:

BFF Cellars will be releasing our first wine on June 12th from 6-8 at the Wine Vault in Philomath. Part of the proceeds will be going to support CARDV (Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence). Our first Artist series done by our amazing friend and artist Kerry McFall. Thank you Kerry for sticking with us for our First vintage, and all of our decisions that we kept changing. Marcia Gilson it is great to have a BFF that I enjoy spending time with and working on a project that will, every year, help women and children’s programs in the Corvallis and Benton County area. Hope everyone will will put the 12th on your calendar and come join us and help support CARDV.”

Come on along! The Wine Vault in Philomath is now showing my first-ever Sketchbook Exhibit!

Road Trip and Wine Tasting!

My sketchbooks/journals and my “art bag” have become my traveling studio as my husband and I have converted to a minimalist lifestyle. We downsized in a big way, and have visited far-flung friends and family on several continents. Now you can flip through four of my most recent sketchbooks at your leisure as you taste fine wines and relax at the Wine Vault. The exhibit includes wine-related and travel-related wall art, and individual sketches illustrating some of our adventures. Archival prints and greeting cards of my sketches are also available. My work will be on display through June, 2015.
